IT WAS A GAME OF HAPPY FAMILIES.
The four children had such perfect lives in such a happy, golden family.
IT WAS A GAME OF HIDE AND SEEK.
Their father died suddenly. The children now lived alone, hidden in the airless attic.
IT WAS A GAME OF TENDER, LOVING MURDER.
Their mother promised they would only stay long enough for her to inherit the fortune. But eventually she forgot how much she adored those children.
